Sheath thy sword, thee
Are not meant to taste
The simples't o' pleasures.
Oh thy are but accursed,
From the heavens you condemned.
Thee are not coming back from
Thy war
Alive.
Hark! The vultures flyin'
O'er the mountains,
Thee flesh has already
Begun to stink.
Does ye know?
I am the Valkyrie who
Wrote thy name in
Mine parchment.
Thy life will spiral like
A whirlwind, out of control,
Till it ends up in
My possession.
